Atkins (6-4, 280) and Robinson (6-5, 280) continue a trend of New Mexico and the Mountain West Conference heavily recruiting the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

New Mexico had eight players from D-FW on its 2018 roster and six on its 2019 roster. New Mexico is trying to rebound from a 2-10 season in 2019.

Six of the 12 players in the Class of 2021 who have committed to Mountain West schools are from D-FW. Atkins and Robinson join South Oak Cliff linebacker Jai Jones (Boise State), South Oak Cliff running back Cam Davis (San Diego State), DeSoto cornerback Lathan Adams (Colorado State) and Lancaster running back DQ James (Hawaii).

Timberview was 6-5 last season and lost to Frisco Independence in the first round of the Class 5A Division I playoffs. Timberview is dropping down to 5A Division II for the next two years, but it will have to share a district with nine-time state champion Aledo.
